Empresarios is a Washington, D.C.–based collective of musicians and DJs who finely tuned their Tropicaliente sound over the past few years and shared this unique blend of tropical beats across the globe. With over three albums of original material and dozens of remixes already released, the Empresarios recently took the next step and launched their own label, Empresarios Musica.
Not only do the Empresarios release great music, they have also brought their live show across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. In recent years they have played great events as the Joshua Tree Music Festival, Musikfest, Landmark Festival, and the National Cannabis Festival, as well as D.C.’s Funk Parade and H Street Festival. The Empresarios have licensed their music to television networks like NBC, documentaries, films including Echo Park (2014), and video games such as EA Sports’ popular FIFA 12 (2012). Mixing together the warm sounds of the Caribbean is the specialty of the Empresarios, so get ready to dance to a fusion of reggae, salsa, hip hop, reggaetón, dub, and house. And they sure did rock the house on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center on November 14th.
